Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting stuffed toys. There are no restrictions in size or set style despite the usual expectation that they will be small. The term is an merging of the words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.

Amigurumi Baymax
My New Year blog post catch up continues. I’m now working through all the part written posts. I started this last August, it’s only been on hold because I hadn’t embroidered the eyes. That’s been rectified today so I can get it marked off. Sometimes I volunteer to do things without really knowing if I can. “Sure I can make a Baymax” being a case in point.

Amigurumi Sloth
I don’t know about other crafters but I find I don’t often have to go looking for projects, I’m lucky enough to have friends who show me ones they think I might find interesting or quirky.

Amigurumi Elephant 2
One of the ladies who comes to the Wool Haven crochet classes is interested in amigurumi and brought a pattern she purchased from Etsy to show me. Of course I wanted a shot at it.

This is the second pattern used in the amigurumi class and was used to introduce the bobble stitch.

Amigurumi Elephant
This was the first pattern used in the amigurumi class, it shows how using the same basic technique can make a variety of shapes. Elephant is approximately 19 cm / 7.5 inches tall when sat. (Also I put the legs and arms on in the wrong place, but had sewed them on to well to remove and set right) 😀

A little bit of showing off with this one as I’m really happy how it turned out.
